Hello. Background: Current iproute2 does not build when the libc is musl instead of glibc. This is because of redefinition of in6_addr in netinet/in.h and linux/in6.h. There are workarounds in linux/libc-compat.h to make it somehow work for glibc.
As I can see linux/in6.h is only indirectly used via the other kernel headers linux/if_bridge.h and linux/xfrm.h. These in turn include linux/in6.h only in order to get a declaration of in6_addr. Since iproute2 depends on the fact that in6_addr is defined in <netinet/in.h> it should be safe to replace the content of linux/in6.h by #include <netinet/in.h> This completely removes the possibility for redefinition of in6_addr for any libc. Since linux/in6.h is anyway a patched kernel header, such a change should also not increase the work needed to sync with newer kernel headers. Would it be possible to implement such a change?
